    Boomed, and then chucked a boiling hot fresh cup of tea all over me cream crackers.

    End of first 3 months, working on a great contract.

    For those who have been with me on here over the past few months, finally things turn good again ))

    Client Co Hiring Manager asks me to go for a cup of tea.
    Tells me he wants me for another 3 ,
    then looks at budget and comes back and changes his mind for

    12 months!!!!!

    I then throw that cup of tea (full) all over my desk , shirt, pants and I'm sat here with a warm fuzzy contractor feeling and some boiling cream crackers!.

    Huzzah!

    Just pop down to the car and get out a change of clothes. You do have spare clothes with you don't you? I mean you are a contractor aren't you?

        I am a contractor, but unfortunately I don't think I'm ever going to get a grip on "Presentation"

        I worked for a massive well known software house and had to be fashionable - but it was too much of a struggle.

        Thanks Nick, in all seriousness burns get worse over time, I think I can see a blister...

                  Ah, so no defined deliverables and part and parcel of the organisation!

                  Good luck.
